Enrollment Begins with the Application Process

The very first step in obtaining access to VA health care benefits is to apply:

You may complete an application in person at any VA medical facility where eligibility personnel are available to answer your questions.

You may call VA toll-free at 1-877-222-VETS (8387) to complete the application over the phone.

Once your application is successfully processed, VA will notify you of your enrollment priority group assignment and whether you are enrolled.

If enrolled, we will send you a personalized Veterans Health Benefits Handbook, which will detail your assigned enrollment priority group, the VA health benefits you are eligible for and will provide important information concerning your access to VA health care.

The Veterans Health Benefits Guide is designed to provide Veterans and their families with the information they need to understand VA’s health care system: eligibility requirements, the enrollment process, enrollment priority groups, copayments that certain Veterans may be charged and the health benefits and services available to Veterans.

Additionally, in the guide you will find helpful information about My HealtheVet, Creditable Coverage for Medicare Part D, Income Verification and much more.
